Haste_2 09/16/20 11:32:25 PM #384:	Toxtricity will not outspeed me. 86) Cloudbuilt: Defiance - Monolith https://youtu.be/kgBy_m3nRbs Composer: Jacob Sebastian Soyer Lincke Score: 8.4/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 11 (Lost R5 to Emil Karma) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/kgBy_m3nRbs?t=185 I like to think of this music as a kind of theme and variations. The theme is not so much a melody as it is a harmonic progression granted, its not the same exact set of harmonies all the time, but its always somewhere along the lines. Generally speaking it follows (A minor 2 counts , F major 2 counts, G major 1.5 counts, D major 2.5 counts), but its sometimes more like (A minor for 4 counts, F major 1.5 counts, D major 2.5 counts). Thats a good progression to me, since I tend to love most any time Dorian gets mixed in with natural minor. Um, kind of futuristic and industrial-sounding, and also a bit like MGS in terms of fake percussion. Almost every instrument gets a chance at melody at some point. To talk about specifics I like..at 0:26 I really dig the plucked strings in this section!! 0:56 has great marimba use, please other cool details. The variation at 0:56 is cool, in particular the marimba combined with the harp! My favorite variation is probably at 3:05 with the synth/BAGPIPE! pentatonic melody very catchy. I wish that was developed more. 2:26 has more marimba!!! (even if its a bit soft) 4:16 also sticks out to be with the muted guitar (melody and chords), chimes, and other stuff! At about the five minute mark the composer decides to change up things so we can reach a climax, so YAY, new harmonies are now used for a bit. Then it kind of winds down after that. 85) Mamorukun Curse! - YO-KAI Disco (Hell's Entrance World) https://youtu.be/K-PZixk0UgQ Rating: 8.4/10 (Excellent) Composer: Yousuke Yasui VGMC History: VGMC 6 (Lost R2), VGMC 7 (Lost R3), VGMC 8 (Lost R2), VGMC 9 (Lost R3), VGMC 11 (Lost R2), VGMC 14 (Lost R6 to Dungeon - Geofront 4) Favorite part: 0:28 - 0:34, 0:41 - 0:53 Japanese disco! On the surface it seems kind of ordinary, but I really like this when put to the test. This thing grooves hard. In fact, its a banger! During the contest I inwardly knew I liked this more than I outwardly realized. I even voted for Solstice Title and Who Am I? over this, though I wouldn't anymore. Trying to think of what game(s) this reminds me of. I cant think of what it is, but it definitely sounds like something I know! It also has some appealing chords in here, for sure. I love the way theyre rhythmically laid out at the start, and I love those inverted nat-vi chords! Also, how the music goes up the octave at the end there at 0:09, YEEEAHHH!!! Drums really drive this thing. Also, the way it ends on the minor v chord is cool with a lot of emphasis on the flat 7th at 0:15 but especially how it adds those other synths as it glisses up to the note! Very stylish. Another similarly awesome chord at 0:21! Love how it goes into a surprise Dorian mode just a fraction of second before 0:31! And then it basically becomes a modulation to a new key. Yet another GREAT surprise chord at 0:52 kinda Dorian again. At 1:00 we hit the refrain, essentially, using some similar ideas playing around with that Dorian at certain spots, even though this is actually my least favorite part of it. More of those glisses at the ends of phrases here that are really cool, though! There are lots of soft things in the background that really add to the experience especiallythe whistling near the ends of some phrases. All in all, this track is a happy, energetic one and is a little bit cute, as well! It doesnt sound like the entrance to hell at all, what the hell! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "You drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:944706402] in Haste2 ran...
